Hello esx users,
does anybody here use the esx to play acoustic samples?
I would like to achieve a quite lo-fi, trashy sound, but somehow the samples don't really fit to each other when I try around.
any tips on processing or which sample to use?
thanks for tips!

That's a really general question, so here's a general answer: to make a sound "lo-fi" you can apply the DECIMATOR and tweak it until it sounds how you want.
...but if that's not quite what you're going for, you can try using the filter to make it sound more tinny or like it's being played over old speakers. You might want to grab samples of record crackling, etc. and lay them under whatever you're playing to give it an old-timey feel. Ultimately it helps to think about what makes a sound lo-fi and what sort of interference, scratchiness, bitrate you're going for. You've gotta understand that lo-fi can mean an old radio broadcast, an Atari, a record, an old tape deck, an analog synth, etc., and these all have different ways of distorting the sound. From there it's just a matter of applying the capabilities of the ESX to simulate those characteristics.
To find which samples work well, try playing them through the Audio-In part while using the above techniques. Once you've had a chance to play with the settings and get a sound you want, sample/resample the results and you should be all set!
